<FONT size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><B>Pune, April 12:</B></FONT>		<FONT size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">IN a unique tribute to the Dnyaneshwari, Pune-based 22-year-old Swati Pethkar will complete her feat of writing the entire text in calligraphy in Nevase on Friday. 
</FONT></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://cities.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=231495"><P><FONT size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">There was another inspiration for Pethkar: Her grandmother. “Most of the times, the Dnyaneshwari is written in small print, which is difficult for my grandmother to read. The main objective behind writing this is to do it in such a way that everyone, including old people, would be able to read it with ease,” she said.

Her text has run into a whopping 1,300 pages because of the larger font size. “I used to spend anything between half an hour to six hours a day writing, whenever I had time off from teaching at school,” Pethkar said.
